Felix Kim Is Building AI for the People Silicon Valley Priced Out
A shy child learned what it costs to arrive without context. A lawyer learned how institutions manufacture trust. Now Felix Kim is spending his second career trying to make both problems smaller with code.
Anna McGrane
Anna McGrane is co-founder and CEO of PacerPro, a San Francisco legal-tech company that turns the clunky federal court records system, PACER, into clean, automated workflows used inside nearly half of the Am Law 100. A former international lawyer who practiced securities law in Moscow and energy regulation in Beijing, she speaks five languages, read her first legal brief at twelve, and walked away from the law-firm track in 2014 to build software with her brother. She is a Fastcase 50 honoree and a Women of Legal Tech honoree.
Scott Magargee
Scott Magargee is the CEO and co-founder of Springbok Analytics, a Charlottesville, Virginia company that turns ordinary MRI scans into FDA-cleared, AI-built 3D maps of every muscle in the human body. A former Princeton history major and Top 100 law firm litigator, he traded courtrooms for muscle health, joining the University of Virginia spinout in December 2019 and steering it through a $5M oversubscribed Series A in January 2025 backed by the NBA. Under his watch, Springbok has scanned elite athletes, pro basketball leagues, and clinical-trial patients, chasing a single idea: make muscle visible, measurable, and actionable.
Victor Lopez
Victor Lopez is the co-founder and CEO of FlexPoint, a payments-automation platform built for managed service providers and the small businesses they serve. A former finance lawyer turned private-credit principal at Owl Rock/Blue Owl Capital, he left the world of middle-market lending to attack a less glamorous problem: getting small businesses paid faster. Founded in 2022 and launched in 2023, FlexPoint raised a $12M Series A led by Foundry Group in 2025 and now handles payments for tens of thousands of businesses.
